He's a perfect gentlemen, he's the sweetest guy
My friends say ima lucky girl, he's the reason why
Never ever hurt him, I know he really loves me
But he aint you.
Sometimes I feel so guilty, sometimes I think I'm cruel
When I try and make him hold me, the way you used to do
Kiss me just like this, touch me just like that
But he aint you.
They say you can't change a man
But I'm trying, I'm trying
Because the best I ever had said goodbye, goodbye
Maybe ima dreamer, maybe ima fool
If you're gone forever, what else can I do?
But try and change a man into you
It seems we're only different, and he never said hello
If the grass was really greener, I'd be glad to let you go
I guess I gotta face it, there's just no replacement
Cuss he aint you, oh
You can't make somebody be somebody they're not
But try telling that to my heart
They say you can't change a man
But I'm trying, I'm trying
Because the best I ever had said goodbye, goodbye
Maybe ima dreamer, maybe ima fool
If you're gone forever, what else can I do?
But try and change a man, try and change a man
Into everything you were to me, how we fit so perfectly
Maybe it’s impossible, maybe it’s true, it’s true, it’s true
You can't change a man
But I'm trying, I'm trying
Because the best I ever had said goodbye, goodbye
Maybe ima dreamer, maybe ima fool
If you're gone forever, what else can I do?
But try and change a man,
Try and change a man into you
